After assuming my Raspberry Pi Boards(Versions 2B+ and 3) are damaged from a crappy USB power supply, I have decided to invest the money needed to replace them in everything needed to get the Raspberry Pi Zero ready for testing, and buy a few more as backups. Developing the software on the Raspberry Pi 3 would be much easier, but not accurate to the final hardware, which may very well leave me with something that does not run properly on the Zero. I had considering this for a while, but hadn't committed to developing on the actual hardware just yet. This alos gives me a good reason to buy the new Raspberry Pi Zero with the camera port, and tinker with the idea of including a camera for taking quick picture reminders. Placing the order on adafruit.com, as I have never had a problem with them and have problems with a few other brands recently.
